medium
If the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse $x^{2}+$ $4 y^{2}+2 x+8 y-\lambda=0$ is $4$ , and $l$ is the length of its major axis, then $\lambda+l$ is equal to$......$

D
$75$
(JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution
$\lambda+\ell=75$
$x^{2}+4 y^{2}+2 x+8 y-\lambda=0$
$\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{\lambda+5}+\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{\lambda+5}=1$
$\because \frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=4$
$\frac{2(\lambda+5)}{4}=4(\sqrt{\lambda+5})$
$\lambda=59$
$\lambda \neq-5$
$l=2 a=2 \sqrt{\lambda+5}=2 \sqrt{65}=16$
$\lambda+\ell=59+16=75$
